- Godzilla & Kong are at it again! With more smashing, and (for some reason) human characters. Here's my review for GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE!
#godzillaxkongthenewempire #godzillaxkong - Zábava
Godzilla taking power naps in the colosseum is such a weird but adorable flex on mankind.
He's basically a cat lizard. That's his spot now
Yea I loved that scene and the fact he went back at the end made it even more adorable.
It was so cute, I hope that they continue that in future movies
Except Godzilla is amphibious. He’s always been amphibious.
And Godzilla is not supposed to be “cute” … he’s radioactive and has atomic breath. He’s destroys everything he encounters. Not to fail to mention he wrecked the coliseum as he exited it, but somehow it looked repaired upon return to his “cute” slumber.
🤦🏻♀️
@@tinabeckel950 We all get it, dude. Zilla's a force of nature, no one is saying otherwise. No need to flame someone for one little observation. Relax.
I loved it when Godzilla asked "is she with you?" And Kong said "I thought she was with you".
Peak comedy
When was this I think I missed this part lol
What are we, some kinda monsterverse?
Loved that. Also loved when Kong was getting beaten over and looks at Godzilla and says “a little help?”
Well played 👍🏾👌🏾
I like how Kong used the baby ape as a weapon and beat the ish out of the other apes in one scene. That was EPIC 😅😅
That scene sent chills. I always wanted to see that and here we are, lol.
Yeah I laughed out loud in the theater, it was great lol.
I didn't expect them to do that lool was funny
Funny as all fuck
Diddy Kong was catching strays ALL MOVIE.
Walked out thinking "Brazil will never recover"
As a Brazilian it hurt to see Rio get desimsated
@@gojiking2790as a Brazilian, it was fun to me
Brazil minus 1😂
Brazil was badly destroyed but IMAGINE THE TERROR OF THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT SEEING GODZILLA IN THE COLLOSEUM
Rio got ripped a new one xD
How the planet in this universe has not been fucking destroyed yet is beyond me
Probably the same way Earth hasn’t been destroyed in the MCU for the last 15+ years, which I highly doubt you’ve scrutinized in the same way you do the Monsterverse or literally any other franchise…..😑😑😑
fact LOL @@MultiCrimsonRain
It's got that Angel Grove magic.
@@MultiCrimsonRaintrue
Edit: thought it was a planet in FW not an asteroid. Fixed it now
Godzilla is fully capable of blowing up the earth too 😅
In GvK he drills down to the hollow earth and in Final Wars he actually blows up a fucking asteroid
“It’s not Madame Web, but…”
Dude, Madame Web will be ripped apart for years to come, and I’m here for it.
Madame Web & Morbius is 2020's The Happening & The Last Airbender 😂
I'm happy to see people are finally back to making fun of bad movies
I hear the megamind 2 movie is worse than madame webb
Even Batman & Robin is way more enjoyable than Madame Web
Why, your movie isn't any better
When Godzilla and Kong first meet up in the movie I absolutely lost it when Kong was holding up his hands at Godzilla like “bro chill” and then when Godzilla attacks him he immediately hits him with the pocket sand! 💀💀
"you're with him! you're with SAND!"
I made that King of the Hill reference in theaters! It was so dope to see how effective it was on Godzilla lol
@@octavio0390 bro I wish you were in my theater, I literally shouted “POCKET SAND!” when that happened and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. 😆
nah when Godzilla hit em with a suplex is the best🤣
Not to mention Godzilla performing some wrestling moves there (Spear and Suplex)
That dive scene by godzilla deserves a Olympic gold medal 😂😂😂
Reminded me of the 1998 scene
@@dionisiajeronimo3068
True!
HAHAHA that was the most ridiculous one of it all!
That's a lot of fish.
Yeah they did my mans Godzilla dirty in this movie. Made him pink, gave him no screen time, Americanized/actionized Godzilla in a weird hollyweird way. It was def a kong movie.
The reason Jeremy is the best movie reviewer on CZcams is because he’s quick and to the point, funny, and gives his fresh opinion rather than bias from other reviews.
Also he has not become a pretentious movie maker like that other guy
@@ticler You mean Jeremy is not a stuck man?
@@ticler He sure tried. Remember when he moved to LA to sell out and his show got cancelled? I sure do.
I also love that he doesn’t spoil anything ever, sometimes when I see other reviewing they talk a little too much about certain details that may spoil some things. Kinda like Chris stuckman, I usually watch stuckmans reviews after I watch the movie because of that lol
He also sticks to a formula that works, pretty much the same outfit, same background, same energy.
"The actor with the most screen presence and charisma by far... Kong?"
Hey, the same thing that happened in King Kong 1933 and that was a stop motion puppet.
Same for 2005
@@elharvey5032yup!
Godzilla is a dinosaur.
Why have Godzilla's name first in title, if Kong is the main focus
Tell me you just watched Caravan of Garbage without telling me you just watched Caravan of Garbage
That scene with Godzilla basically going “ N**ga I thought I told you to stay off the surface !!“ while charging at kong whos trying to tell him he wants help not smoke is comedy gold
I LOVED THAT SHIT 😂😂😂😂😂
Kings just standing there like “Yo yo dawg I just wanna talk bro I JUST WANNA TALK!!” Before getting tackled into a pyramid. Then Mothra stepped in like the supportive gf she is to calm Godzilla down.
Kong throwing scar king at Godzilla and Godzilla shooting him back using his tail made me laugh at loud! 😂

When I went to the movie yesterday, a dad brought his 6 or 7 year old daughter. It was her first movie in theaters ever, and it was in Imax. She got so sucked into the movie, she was moving in her chair when the monsters were swinging fists at each other, clutching the arm rests when the air vehicles were falling, and just having a blast. I knew going in this wasn't going to be the same kind of picture as Godzilla Minus One, but I love both films for completely different reasons, and am so glad that the Godzilla franchise has room to have both kinds of movies in it.
Wonderful story, thanks for sharing!
Amen! ❤
Hey everyone! This guy paid $25 to go see Godzilla x Kong in theaters and he spent the whole 2 hours staring at a 6 year old girl!
@@IloveGorgeousGeorgeWhen you put it like that...
Just took my 7 year old daughter to see it. And at first she was scared and covering her face. I grabbed her hand and showed her how excited I was. By the end of it she was literally clapping and cheering on Kong
It’s funny that Jeremy says this movie feels very expensive, as it actually had the smallest budget of any Monsterverse movie.
Well, CGI has gotten cheaper.
is that why the cgi looked funky in some parts i also heard they I had a short schedule
I believe it's because of less money spent on marketing. The Monsterverse is already popular, word of mouth marketing will do most of the job.
@@Kennydawg900yeah in the beginning of the movie u can tell cgi decline
Cgi was really good and it's all daytime too and the screentime of titans were too much .
Appreciate the no dialogue scene, you knew exactly what was going on at every point.
Yeah kind of hate when somehow we need stpd exposition in temple when you can just show it
They showed 100% that dialogue was not necessary. My 9-year-old son knew exactly what was going on along. We both agreed that the humans really didn't need to be there.
I said that exact thing! It felt like the filmmakers were actually trusting their audience for once, and I hope that they do more of that in future monsterverse movies!
Those parts were hilariously bad. They were basically just silent humans at that point
@@calvinweeseof course your child could tell. It was made for children
Kong throwing a boulder at a runner was way too damn funny.
I laughed so hard when kong uses the little ape to smack around the other apes 😂😂
I saw it yesterday in IMAX. The final 30 minutes were absolutely fantastic! Big CGI monsters having a slug fest? Sold!
Brainless fun for the sake of Kaiju movies won't last long. People are already getting tired of saying how cool the movies with bad writing and tons of green screen rooms are because they see monkey vs lizard punch it out. There's more to a movie than this, it's not even serving the universe they're trying to build, it's just like a modern MCU movie except it's still light on its humor and tries way harder with the destruction. This is what killed the showa era films slowly too, you just give up and target something smaller in order to stop trying. For those it was kids films that slowly became dumb and a mixed bag even for kids, here I see the classic Hollywood writing death I've been seeing in almost every single damn movie I've consumed post-2020. It's stagnation, even the trailer feels like a 2014 epic.
@@anecroI ain’t reading all of that lol
If only the 90 minutes prior made sense
@xenoghostly2230 you read it and now you're hurting inside 😂
@@anecro We'll it's lasted longer than the DCEU 🤷♂️ and that's a fact you cannot deny.
It honestly did things that have never been done in the genre. The non verbal storytelling with Kong was excellently done. I’ve never been more invested in what monsters were doing. Was such a good adventure, with a joyous human cast. Dan Stevens is the GOAT.
Dan Steven’s is fantastic always
Joyous human cast?
Now I know for sure your review of the movie is not 100% honest
Wierd just watched your review too before this
@@giannisksanthopoulos4300I mean Dan Stevens character was funny and charming tho. Gia is also fine, Dr Andrews character is bland and Bernie is pretty much a weirdo. We get to see less of them so that works out fine enough.
Nice seeing y’all here.
When Kong knocked the Scar King’s fang out and laughed at him you have to admit you grinned ear to ear.
only idiots like you did
Also when he swing the axe over shoulder then crack a smile at Godzilla after the fight. That was awesome.
That smug look on Kong’s face was damn satisfying
Not really
@@spongebobsquarepants2981 Okay.
Seeing GxK doing so well in the theater must me driving film analyst nuts lol. Shout out to GxK for exceeding its expectations and giving us fans and casual movie goers some good entertainment and we're here for it.

According to Toho, this reminds them of the sillier times of the Showa Era of G-films.
Ain't nothin wrong with that honestly.
I want to see this film even more now!!!!
I saw that coming the second a baby Kong showed up.
Im ready to see Godzilla do a drop kick.
@@TrigoNomentry Well, ok, that probably won't happen in the Monsterverse. These movies are still pretty grounded with the silliness.
Nah when Kong knocked out Godzilla, and was dragging him to the hole when he woke up...😳🤨🤣🤣shit had me ROLLING!!!
The Egypt fight scene is basically just the pokemon gen 3 legendaries having their argument until the 3rd guy comes in and yells at them to cut it tf out.
I think Jeremy gets the CZcams award for consistency. Been watching 12-year-old reviews that look exactly the same. Only thing that has changed is Jeremy is 12 years older.
If it ain't broke...
He’s slowed his speaking down a lot but that’s about it
@@han__choloFuck that shit up until it is
He grew a beard sir HE GREW A FULL BEARD take that for your consistency SIR(S)
He’s definitely not as raunchy and crass as he used to be either, which I think can come with age.

It’s such a hard comparison to make relatable. You know, because no one saw Madame Web.
perhaps it should have been.
Best movie madame web or Kong/ godzila?

@@MickMarday-rp4rn I’ll never see either.
if you're a kid between the ages of 5-12 this movies was freaking awesome!!! it was what it was. I wasn't expecting academy award worthy dialogue. I let my inner little boy have his fun and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
Shimo was totally adorable after Skar king lost controlled of her. The way looked at godzilla firing at the sky was so cute😭
So it's a big budget showa era Godzilla movie.
I'll be there.
That's all I wanted from it tbh. There's enough room for cinematic godzilla minus one style movies and cheesy showa godzilla
Eh, the charm of those movies were the miniatures and tokusatsu special effects. Without that these movies are garbage.

Jeremy is one of the few bastions left for honest, unbiased, non-political movie reviews. Literally any time there’s a movie im interested/skeptical about I see if Jeremy made a video yet.
To this day, Jeremy has never brought politics in his reviews, he only reviews them from a movie standpoint.
@@everythingisawesome2903 really? You forget about star wars?
Literally any time I want a quick and good and to the point movie review I come to Jeremy

Wake me up when the American Godzilla gets to its Heisei Era phase.
Seeing Godzilla run when this trailer dropped told me that
@@nerdsman567 underrated comment
@@nerdsman567KOTM was all we got for the Heisei feel ☹️
Out of all the movies, This movie was what the audience wants!! More screen time for the monsters and less talking! 🤣 I loved this movie! Full of action and fight scenes!
The most impressive part of this movie was how the camera man survived all of this.
Just saw this with my 9-year-old son and we both enjoyed it. Jeremy is spot on, it's 100% dumb fun but it was enjoyable. The best part is easily for me when Kong is with the other apes, I said the same thing to my son that they didn't have any dialogue but we both knew what was going on.
Going to see with 9yr son as well this coming weekend!!!
I don't really care about the plot I just want to see giant monsters fight
I wouldn't pay money for that tho
go to a body positive rally then
and youtube has those in spades for ya, called video game cgi
best of luck
@@corymiller536A lot of us will though so that’s just you.
@@REDANDSILVER741no I guarantee this movie doesn’t make a lot of money and this monsterverse will end real soon
Thanks Jeremy. been going back and forth with my son about the title. i say 'cross' he says 'x' you just made my day. fist pumps were had.
Godzilla sleeping in the Colosseum was dope and showed plenty of character from Godzilla. Deep down he cares about Humanity and will always protect us from Hollow Earth.
It sounds awesome, and exactly what I want. It's silly that people keep comparing it to Minus One, especially when Godzilla has a long history of crazy, less serious films.
As for Godzilla not being as big of a focus, I think it's because his role is pretty firmly established. He's the force of nature, ultimate equalizer, apex monster. He's the big gun called in when all hell breaks loose.
So yeah, I'm hyped for this.
Yeah I felt Godzilla wasn't overshadowed at all.
Godzilla is lame 😂
The script was not that great…there were interesting parts but plenty of why? Parts too. If you look forward to it that’s cool. Plenty of action but I never really felt the stakes.
Because you had an amazing picture, one of the best films of the year it came out, hailed as the best godzilla movie in the last couple of decades if not ever. Finally nailed the human part, which has been a complaint about American Godzilla movies for ages. Then you had a trailer come out featuring the same character in a movie that seems like it was made for 10-25yo with ADHD, right after.
Hmm I wonder why.
@@npatil85No he isn't. What's wrong with you?
How is it that within 20 minutes without any dialogue, I understood the motivations of both Kong and villain and what is at stake. While the MCU couldn’t do that within 2.5 hours of exposition vomit
Lmao
MCU lives rent free in ya'll heads, grow up and move on
Sad little boy can't just like something, has to believe that liking Thing A instead of Thing B translates to moral superiority. Embarrassing .
@@user-yb1zq5sw6rwe all see how bad it’s gotten. We pay for it so we have the right to complain. Nerd
@@user-yb1zq5sw6r Can’t, when they release MCU projects every 3 months that are absolute dogshit
Jeremy is the goat, The Goat!!
In all seriousness he provides the best movie reviews.
I agree with the 'x' being treated Japanese style like in Hunter x Hunter. Great review as always, mate! This is my go-to channel for spot-on movie insights T-minus spoilers.
I'm convinced that this and the previous movie are much more Kong centric because they don't know how to make or care about the humans, so they choose the closest thing to them by using a big ape that can show expressions like us without needing to write mediocre dialogue for him. To give them credit, it's a clever strategy because it keeps the focus on the big monsters, and one thing these movies nail is how well the personalities of the kaijus, from Kong to King Ghidorah, are portrayed despite being giant god-like creatures compared to humans. And it worked well in the previous one since Kong was the underdog in the fight, and it was a nice way to make us root for him. I just hope we'll get either a Godzilla 3 or a final GodzillaxKong movie where Godzilla is actually the main focus again, make it over the top if you want with an alien invasion plot and Gigan as the main villain, or an epic conclusion against Destoroyah.
The aliens from Pacific Rim come to mind. Entering Earth not by space, but by portals in the ocean with their own Kaiju's. I always thought they could make it an alternate reality thing for the monsterverse. Maybe even add Jagers so the humans can do something lol.
After godzilla v kong there was no way to making kong a valid adversary for godzilla until glove but mothra is there check em now godzilla still beat em both tho😄! to give kong a major role appearance was this movie for sure! I'm sure if another rises it can go 1 of 3 ways... Godzilla is stand alone, or godzilla v long again being he has shimo now or they make space godzilla which is bad enough to need all 3 or destroyed.. However until oxygen destroyer is revamped into the lore destroying can't exist and 5 movies later it's possible 🤷♂️however where the story is seems like a finale already🥂 the world is at peace the monsters are within there areas and problems are resolved, and being what there known as godzilla protector of nature, and long protector of people so if you look at what the next movie...well godzilla is cemented now so making him a target or long going rogue at nature, or they bring another adversary whole wants to do against both.. What would fans really want next?! Hell as I stated before if Yamasaki/wingard collabed a Tohoverse could rise and space godzilla or destroyed could exist! I mean space and destroyah are Kia so bringing them to monsterverse would crash with to go lore, so try n decide how the next one resumes if they do... Sorry I'm a fan😂
there's a contractual issue about how they are allowed to portray godzilla. he always has to remain somewhat aloof and a force of nature...something like that. kong's a great ape. humans are great apes. there's a lot more to connect there. but the way these last 3 movies have tried to integrate the human element into these movies is hilarious in its ineptitude. the worst of them was GvK though. GxK thankfully didn't spend much time on the human nonsense - none of which made sense. did you note how humans were still trying to attack godzilla 3 movies into the franchise after establishing the fact that godzilla is what keeps all the other titans in check? jfc. GxK did have significanlty more of the good stuff though (focused on titans) and did an admirable job with the emoting amongst the kong-ish titans.
I think we have to realize that with these movies the human characters just simply don't matter and we're just here for giant monsters fighting.
After watching Godzilla Minus One, I think the reality is we can’t make a great Godzilla movie. There is so much in Godzilla that can’t be replicated by American writers. The best we can do is pull on American nostalgia and remake Showa type movies.
When it cones to Kong, the US created Kong and honestly, it’s a concept American can write for. King Kong was always portrayed to be human like, sympathetic, which makes him the perfect hero for American style writing. Where as Godzilla is a symbol for neclear destruction, Kong was a symbol of racial tension, which Kong representing or fears of interracial romance. With that, in our times, Kong now is a sympathetic figure who is easy to write as a hero.
This movie was fucking AWESOME. everyone in the cinema loved it
Is it primal rage?
@@dboygamer8184 if that is a good thing then yea
It was so much fun.
The people were clapping after the movie ends. We loved it

One thing I love about Jeremy, he gets straight to the point.
He rambles on and on and doesn't get the point I have no idea what you're talking about
I’m excited for it. I keep seeing people compare it to the Showa era and I am all for it. The thing about Godzilla is you can have both the serious films and the fun films together. It’s been that way for 70 years.
Yeah these newer Monsterverse movies have massive showa era vibes. And it's glorious imo. We got some crazy stuff in the movie that was similar to Godzilla flying kick in showa era. It's awesome that we got both serious and over the top Godzilla movies within one year.
it needs Cesar and Jet Jaguar and then it would be... perfection

Comments like these are the reason I have internet
What are we? Some sort of new empire?
Dude I totally forgot about that 80s music scene until you mentioned it!
“Kong-versation” was my favorite part of this review
So…
Godzilla Minus One = The Dark Knight
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire = Batman Forever
Accurate lol. I saw the trailer for this not long after watching godzilla minus one and....oof.
No, more like Batman Returns, true to the source material
Godzilla 1998 = Batman & Robin
Godzilla 2014 = Batman Begins
what about verisosn of gidzilla in japan verison jump dancd , baby godzilla, drop kick, use fire bereath those are batman and robin and batman forever
Pretty much. It's all spectacle and no substance.
I've never felt more seen by your channel than with you mentioning Streetfighter X Tekken. Thanks for keeping it real all these years, Jeremy.
Jeremy’s energy was particularly ‘Jeremy’ and I loved it
Saw the film yesterday.
And boy oh boy did I have fun!
Felt like a kid again, excited for every Kaiju Clash and even roaring along with Godzilla..
Same here… loved it.. my wife as well
The way I see it, Godzilla Minus One is a modern version of the Godzilla movies like the original and 'Return of Godzilla' from 1984, bringing Godzilla back to his roots.
US Godzilla is ultra-big-budget 1960's & 1970's Godzilla, from 'Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster' through 'Terror of Mechagodzilla'.
When one looks at it this way, there's plenty of room for both. Godzilla, in pop culture, has had 2 identities - the horror icon, and a hero that kids (and adults that enjoy childlike excitement) enjoy, and as long as both sides of the Pacific continue to showcase these different sides, then I'd say let's keep Godzilla going on both ends!
Yeah! Let's spit roast Godzilla!!
tbh adults who can't enjoy "childish" things has a very sad life. (i'm not only talking about this movie)
Godzilla minus one is the hero land of the rising sun. Hero of the Japanese. Hands down! Godzilla x Kong it's so laughable, very bad reviews.
@@chronolynx360
1) Da fuck do you mean Minus One is a hero? That Godzilla was brought back to his horror and destructive roots. And 2) the makers of Minus One and Toho love the Monterverse.
100%! When i saw this movie i was like ''This feels like one of those old fun era Godzilla movies with a bigger budget''. Wich is what it is. Nothing in this film is really out of the realm of what those old films did. Hollow Earth is the only element. But we used to have time travel and stuff like that. Godzilla has been wild for over 50 years. This film is right at home in the franchise.
This movie is embracing the early 70s Showa Era films from Toho, do I wish they leaned into the early 60s Showa era, yes I do but am I still gonna see this opening day? FUCK YEAH BABY!!!
Stop comparing it to Showa. The Showa era has decent characters and some ok plots. The monsterverse is everything BAD about the Showa era

@@ScarletDream21 yeah…I kinda feel the same way my favorite from the 70s is Vs. Mechagodzilla.
@@francopereyra6659 no I’m not. The last 2 movies are more like Godzilla’s revenge level bs.

I saw it with my 3 year old. I did not pay attention to the story, but my kid had an absolute blast. There was plenty of giant monster combat, and that's what i wanted in the first godzilla movie.
It’s like Godzilla is becoming the transformers franchise of the 2020s
I ain’t mad about it tbh
The first 3 transformers movies are my favorite movies ever
If the human characters from those transformers movies were in this universe these movies would be fucking unbearable
Par the course for Godzilla, he needs to be versatile to survive.

the last movie did the same thing.
@@nickerskine6326 i dont remember the last one, but to the honest my only expectations on any of this movies is big guys punching each other. I rather leave the better storytelling to the Japanese versions of godzilla
@@PAT.OS96 if you say so.
@@nickerskine6326 yes, that is exactly what i said
i see it as a kind of respect toward Godzilla. While Kong needs some type of help all the time, Godzilla just does everything for himself to be able to win. He new what to do and did it without faliure, no help needed. He really is a force of nature
6:25 you caught me offguard with that "Now it's a New Empire 🤪"
This movie is a perfect homage and was proof the creator loved monster movies. It felt like a Saturday morning cartoon but in a good way
Perfect homage to showa era
it's funny to see Minus One about people and then this where the monsters are figtining in Rio de Janeiro where they are literally throwing buildings full of people at each other and you have fun watching it xD

Holy Shit! Jeremy beconing a silver fox here!!!

Us millennials are getting close to middle age, where did the time go? Haha
Must have watched one bad movie too many.
I loved how earnestly they embraced the crazy fantasy/si-fi elements and made it feel like you were watching an old Showa era Godzilla movie. Plus they finally did what they should have done this whole time and made the monsters the MAIN characters since they're what people are coming to the theaters to see. Minus One was a great movie but if you watched is hoping to see some badass kaiju fight scenes or even a lot of Godzilla you might be kinda disappointed, this movie scratches the itch which that movie couldn't
Good review and thanks for not spoiling.
First time commenter on your channel Jeremy but I’ve been a fan since I was 17, glad you’ve weathered the test of time and just been an honest film reviewer true to yourself
One part involving Godzilla alone in this movie had me saying out loud "well that entire coastline is gone"
My favorite part was when they did the liquid slowly filling some channels carved into a stone floor bit, but the editor was like this has been done so many times we don't even have to actually show the liquid filling the channels so the whole sequence was 2.5 seconds.
This is the first review I've seen that I completely agree with. Everybody else on CZcams seems to be ignoring just how much it feels like they just stopped caring and plot and logic after the last one. It's so weird to think that this Monsterverse is still in continuity with the relatively grounded and serious 2014 movie.
Something I haven't seen anybody mention is just how wonky the needle drops are in this thing. Seriously, Kiss, Loverboy and Badfinger?! It's like somebody made a mistake and told the music licensing department that this was an Eighties period piece or a Guardians movie. The Badfinger song especially was just laughably mismatched with what was actually on screen.
It's funny that Jeremy mentions Transformers movies without a human focus, seeing as how we're getting our first TF flick without *any* humans in six months with "Transformers One". Really hoping we see a trailer for that soon...
SFxT was completely underrated, hands down. Thank you for even mentioning that godlike game
The DLC on disc and the gem system kill it
Stop that sh!t was TRASH
It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, as long as it's fun.
Disagree. It’s hard to enjoy a movie that’s painfully corny and has lame dialogue. Take the last two Bay transformers movies for example
@@corneliusc.carrot3474 I didn't say those were fun.

The first 13 seconds of this video remind me of why I miss how you actually saw the aftermath of the damage the giant monsters caused in the first two Godzilla films in the Monsterverse film. Like either that or like a satirical take on all the human inhabitants getting used to the Damage Done by the Titans,
Super excited for this one. Saw GvK in Dolby Atmos and the sound design had the theatre shaking so hard I was geniunely afraid the seating structure was gonna collapse. Talk about thrilling. Hopefully this one keeps that consistency.
Saw this one in IMAX. It did not disappoint
I think the 80's music was one of the things missing from the new Ghostbusters.
I wrote this in your King of the Monsters review, but once again I feel like this film would have benefited from being a 2 parter. The fact alone that Scar King is first shown in the third act speaks volumes.
My dad fell asleep starting at the point where Mr. Kong gets his tooth replaced.
It's time for a Primal Rage movie. This seems like the Showa era Godzilla films.
Kong: Primal Rage would be a good game
@@Oinker-Sploinker For sure.
Facts!
can't wait to check this out in IMAX tonight! Super excited.
How is no one talking about Kong’s incredible aim with that boulder throw?
The opening on Naboo was epic!! I could not stop laughing!!! 🎉❤
I was surprised at how much fun this was. The more I think about it, the more it falls apart in places. But overall I was having a blast.
I just can’t shake the thought that there’s probably a hypothetical Godzilla movie happening parallel to this movie that we don’t get to see. We get little glimpses every 20 minutes or so, but for most of the movie, Godzilla is off causing destruction by himself with no clear reason why. And I gotta imagine Millie Bobby Brown’s character and that kid from Deadpool 2 are trying to figure out what’s going on. But they’re not in this movie, so I guess we’ll never know.
Kinda weird that she wasn’t even a vocal cameo on Brian Tyree Henry’s podcast or something.
"YEAH , now it's a New Empire!"
Well done Jeremy
I watched this movie immediately after your glowing review. Thank you. This movie was awesome.
Your opener is hilarious because that was my first thought seeing the trailer.
This is the most fun i had in the cinema since D&D
This movie was an acid flashback I wasn’t expecting to have. Seeing it in imax 3D was so much fun.
Literally JUST saw this movie…AMAZING!!! So much Godzilla and King Kong in this!
5:47 They totally knew. Its Showa. Its PEAK showa
Peak Showa was garbage stop acting like it was good 😂
@@ScarletDream21 I'm sorry for you kid that you didn't experience peak.
@@ScarletDream21 so you are a not a fan, no problem, just say it
@@lautaroasis60 Am I a Godzilla fan? Yes I am I have been for 20 years and will always be a Godzilla fan but am I a fan of dumb movies? No I’m not I love the Godzilla franchise but a lot of the old movies were idiotic and not rewatchable in my opinion I’ll go and Watch Godzilla x Kong since I am a Godzilla fan but it’s not unfair to say the Monsterverse is approaching Michael Bay Transformers territory
Michael Bay transformers was badass that's why they made a shittillion dollars@@ScarletDream21
Thanks for the review Jeremy, I won't go to the theatre and watch this but maybe I will watch when it streams. Seems kinda fun.
" Its dumb at times, dumb fun at times "....... couldn't have said it better
This movie is the way entertainment should be. And especially the way a monster movie is meant to be. The monsters were WAY over powered. The acting was corny, and funny. The special effects were ridiculously fantastic. And it was exactly like I remember monster movies should be. Total entertaining escapism. This one will make it into my DVD collection! Suspend all notions of belief and go see this movie.
Minus One ruined the fanbase hard 😅
This movie is clearly a tribute to the Showa era which was all wacky like this.
I just wished we got another solo Kong movie that had Scar and the Scar clan. Make that the rival ape clan to Kong's clan. Go all Planet of the Apes in it.
Room for both, no?
The Showa movies were really bad. They were only charming because of the miniatures and tokusatsu special effects. Whatever Godzilla x Kong is, it is the worst of all worlds. If Godzilla Minus One "ruined" the fanbase by showing them what a good story looks like, then maybe their standards were way too low.
@@clintonleonard5187This isn't trying to be Minus One though, it wants to replicate the goofy aspects of the showa era and embracing it. Even the director of Minus One loves these movies for doing that.
HELL YES !!!! KONG: BATTLE OF THE APES !!!
@@CDRW24 And I just explained why this movie has none of the charm of the Showa era.
I did not have very high hopes but I will still see it. Love your reviews Jeremy. I can't wait to get a few laughs outta this thing!!😆😆
“We’re under the pyramids. What now?”
“Gravity”
😂😂😂
saw it last night and i can honestly say its a GREAT time if you're drunk, especially seeing Kong fight the 3 apes and meeting the little ape....that one scene had me dying (iykyk). loved every minute of it, very fun movie
IMHO, YOU are the GOAT!!! Keep it coming brother!!!
Monsterverse formula was peak at King of the Monsters.
Not as serious and grim as Gareth Edward's film, has some of that kaiju cheese, but not so much that it gets silly and things still feel big and massive.
I think it was better when it was just Godzilla in 2014, but yeah, the last movie is when it REALLY jumped the shark.
Everything since KOTM has been a let down.
KOTM is the worst Monsterverse movie
I preferred Godzilla vs Kong way more
No the Gareth Edwards 2014 Godzilla is still the best movie of this franchise. King of Monsters was already too silly. This new GxK is just awful
